Public workers

Times are tough for public workers, ev’ry day it’s something new;

Lay off threats and hiring freezes, freezes in our wages too.

Paycheques pounded by inflation, budgets cut down to the bone;

We have got to stand together; it’s no time to stand alone.

Public workers, stand together,

Stand with pride and dignity

We are all in this together

Every public employee.

Workers in the private sector, we’re no different from you

We work hard to feed our families, pay our rent and taxes too.

It doesn’t matter who we work for, we’re all workers just the same;

But the rights we took for granted, we’re now fighting to retain.

In conclusion, fellow workers, we must organize for power

Solidarity forever is the watchword of the hour.

Let’s fight back in opposition ‘gainst the bosses and the press

Build a workers’ coalition and march onward to success.

Working people, stand together,

Stand with pride and dignity

We are all in this together

Stand in solidarity

Stand in solidarity
